15 practices within 200 km of Guyra are accredited for MRI in total; the five above are the closest by straight-line distance from the centre of town.

All of them are on the Australian Government's list of Medicare-eligible MRI locations (last updated 17 February 2026), so a Medicare rebate is possible for scans done there. Whether your scan attracts one depends on the item your referral asks for and on who wrote it — GPs can request a limited set of MRI items and specialists can request more.

Guyra is not without imaging — x-ray is available in town. The town page lists everything Guyra has.

For scale, 181 of the 1544 towns we hold in NSW sit further from MRI than Guyra does.

Across New South Wales, 204 practices are accredited for MRI and 84 of those are outside the capital. That is the arithmetic behind the distance above — MRI is not spread evenly, and Guyra sits in one of the gaps.

The register has these accreditations running to: I-MED Radiology Armidale to 31 July 2027, Alpenglow Inverell Diagnostic Imaging to 30 September 2027 and Hunter New England Imaging - Tamworth Rural Referral Hospital to 30 June 2027. We drop a modality the day its accreditation lapses, so if it is listed above it is current.

Of the five practices listed, all publish a phone number, all have a website and two list opening hours. A phone call before you travel is worth it: a practice can be accredited for a scan and still not run it daily.
